Drivers of environmental permitting delays: Implication for costs and rapid mining landscape changes in Ghana
Delays and disputes in environmental permitting cause significant land-use and land-cover changes and economic costs, yet remain underexplored in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) discourse. This study assessed the drivers and impacts of permitting delays in mining using Landsat imagery (2017–2021), supervised classification, and structured interviews with 300 stakeholders across six mining communities, involving two mines in Ghana. The inter…
Forest landscape restoration-induced changes in land cover and woody plant community structure in a degraded forest reserve in Ghana
Restoring degraded forests has become a global concern due to the high levels of forest disturbance arising from farming, logging, and mining. This study, conducted in the degraded Tain II Forest Reserve landscape in Ghana, examined the effects of forest landscape restoration (FLR) on land cover changes and woody plant community structure in the area. The study combined remote sensing, plot sampling techniques, and structured interviews in data c…
Barriers and opportunities in effective management of forest landscape restoration: Tain II degraded forest restoration, Ghana
Forest landscape restoration (FLR) approach has become a key strategy to ensure sustainable forest management and counteract the impacts of deforestation and forest degradation on biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and food insecurity. However, the management of FLR to restore degraded forest landscapes remains a major conundrum in most tropical regions, including Ghana. This study, conducted in Tain II degraded forest Reserv…
Dynamic influence of mining-induced land use land cover changes on avifauna community over a mining landscape, Ghana
Despite the ecological importance of avifauna and the well-documented deleterious effects of mining on biodiversity, there is skimpy attention on the specific consequences of mining on the avian community. The study evaluated the dynamics of mining-induced land use/cover changes and consequent impacts on the avifauna community in the Ahafo mining area in Ghana. Landsat-TM and OLI imageries between 2003 and 2022 were digitally analyzed utilizing a…

Land use land cover dynamics and fragmentation-induced changes in woody plant community structure in a mining landscape, Ghana
The study assessed the dynamics of mining land use land cover changes and consequent fragmentation impacts on woody plant community structure in the Ahafo Region, Ghana. Landsat images were utilised to determine land use and cover changes using a supervised classification method. Plant community structure was determined within 60 (20 × 20 m) plots that were randomly laid in equal numbers in fragmented and intact forests. Our findings showed that …
Dynamics of community perceptions, common resources and compensation practices in mining: The case of Newmont Ghana Gold Ltd at Ahafo
A critical issue confronting the mining industry and communities in Ghana is compensation for loss of land rights in mining activities. The 1992 Constitution and the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006 (Act 703) both require compensation for the expropriated to be fair, adequate and promptly paid. However, fairness, adequacy and promptness are normative value judgments predicated on stakeholders’ perceptions. This makes controversies over compensation …
